NAME
     mnc2nii - convert a MINC format file to a NIfTI-1 or Analyze format file.

SYNOPSIS
     mnc2nii [<options>] <infile.mnc> <outfile.mnc>

     mnc2nii -help

DESCRIPTION
     The  mnc2nii command is used to convert MINC format files to either NIfTI-1
     or Analyze format.  The NIfTI-1 format was developed by the members of  the
     Neuroinformatics  Technology Initiative's Data Format Working Group (DFWG).
     The NIfTI-1 format is based upon the Mayo Clinic's Analyze 7.5 format.

     The name of the program is derived from the common filename  suffixes  used
     for  NIfTI-1  and	MINC  files.   NIfTI-1	defines  two possible formats, a
     "header plus raw image" 2-file format, and a single-file  format  that  in-
     cludes  both  header  information and the image data.  As with Analyze 7.5,
     the 2-file format consists of one file with the suffix ".hdr"  and  another
     file  with  the  extension  ".img".  In NIfTI-1 single-file format, the two
     files may be combined into a single file with a ".nii" filename suffix.

     In addition to the NIfTI-1 formats, mnc2nii can convert MINC files  to  the
     Analyze 7.5 format.

OPTIONS
     Note that options can be specified in abbreviated form (as long as they are
     unique) and can be given anywhere on the command line.

Output file format
     -dual  Save file in NIfTI-1 two-file format (.hdr and .img)

     -ASCII
	    Save file in non-standard NIfTI-1 ASCII file format

     -nii   Save file in NIfTI-1 single-file format (.nii)

     -analyze
	    Save file in Analyze 7.5 compatible format

Output voxel format
     -float
	    Save voxels in 32-bit floating point format

     -double
	    Save voxels in 64-bit floating point format

     -byte  Save voxels in 8-bit integer format

     -short
	    Save voxels in 16-bit integer format

     -int   Save voxels in 32-bit integer format

     -signed
	    Save voxels in signed (2's complement) integer format

     -unsigned
	    Save voxels in unsigned integer format

Other options
     -noscanrange
	    Don't scan data to determine valid range.

     -quiet
	    Quiet operation - do not print progress or debugging information.

Generic options for all commands
     -help  Print summary of command-line options and abort

     -version
	    Print the program and library versions and abort

KNOWN BUGS
     Current  handling	of  NIfTI-1 qform and sform coordinate transforms should
     probably be revised as the NIfTI group clarifies the correct usage of these
     fields.
